## **CRONDALL VILLAGE HALL** ## **Governance and Trustees** Crondall village Hall was established as a charity by a Trust Deed dated 1923 The object of the charity is the provision and maintenance of a village hall for the use of the inhabitants of the area of benefit without distinction of political, religious, or other opinions, including use for: - meetings, lectures, and classes, and - other forms of recreation and leisure-time occupation, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the inhabitants. The Village Hall Management Committee is responsible for keeping the building in a good state of repair. As such they are responsible for the raising of appropriate funds to ensure the Village Hall is maintained fit for purpose in accordance with the Trust Deed. ## **Appointment of Trustees** The Trust Deed governs the appointment of trustees and the management of the charity. All trustees whether elected or appointed by organisations entitled to a representative retire at the end of their 3-year term at the Annual General Meeting Established in 1923, Crondall Village Hall is a community asset held on a charitable trust and managed by a committee of volunteers. The trustees also form the Management Committee of the Village Hall which has the power to co-opt a maximum of 4 additional trustees during the year. ## **Current Trustees** Sheila Lambert, Simon Crowther, Norman Lambert, Patricia Sharpe, Owen Durrett and Barrie Cheeseman ## H **iring of the Hall** Besides the furtherance of the charitable objectives, it is also important that the Crondall Village Hall shows that it is also providing public benefit, whilst still achieving its objectives. The public benefit derived from the activities of the Village Hall includes: - Provision of the Crondall Village Hall for public use - Preservation and enhancement of the Village Hall for the use of the - community. © Crondall Village Hall 2013 Registered Charity No. 301795 www.crondallvillagehall.co.uk Whilst the public benefit is available to anyone, as there are few bars to usage of the hall, a charge to cover costs is made, and a discount provided for local Crondall Village users. Analysis shows these fees are not higher than for other Halls in the area, and so these fees do not represent an unreasonable restriction to access to the hall. Use of the village hall is subject to a Hiring Agreement which must be signed by the hirer when booking. The hiring agreement sets out the conditions of hire and identifies the respective responsibilities of each party to the agreement. ## **Principal activities in pursuit of our objectives** The Village Hall is also available on hire to commercial undertakings, particularly those that provide a service to the local community. In this context, the Village Hall provides facilities for Keep Fit for the Over 50s, various types of Dance Classes, including Ballet, Tango, and the disabled, Dog Training, Children’s and Adult Parties and Wedding Receptions. ## **Income** Income, for the maintenance of the Village Hall is mainly derived from the hiring of the Main Hall and the Meeting Room and holding other occasional events which benefit both the Hall and other local community groups, public donations along with Lottery and Grant Aid. We also put on our our fundraising events ## **Achievements in 2021** Clearly the current Covid 19 virus lockdown has had a major impact on our income, however the hall has been able to have access to several grant monies which has enabled the hall to support some of the intended projects. - Replaced and insulated the main hall roof - Car Park drainage and resurfacing and including disabled Parking bays and car park lighting would be included in the car park refurbishment. - 150 new padded chairs purchased with lottery monies, over 100 of the old chairs have been sold, raising £550, others given away to various groups, some retained for outdoor use and keep fit. - To reduce costs Solar Panels are being researched for the new roof. - The Village Hall website is to be updated - Entrance hall flooring replaced - Disabled toilet flooring replaced - Old storeroom, decoration, and flooring (on going) - Meeting Room redesign, decorate, and flooring (on going) - Main Hall Ceiling tiles Regular Hire Bookings are returning slowly, this will enable us to ensure our funds are maintained and the hall remains financially sustainable. These and our future events are also important community wide activities that can be enjoyed by all residents and help to maintain and increase our sense of community identity. ## Sheila Lambert 19.05.2022 © Crondall Village Hall 2013 Registered Charity No. 301795 www.crondallvillagehall.co.uk CRONDALL VILLAGE HALL Accounts Year Ending: 31st December 20 Independent Examinerfs Report to the Trustees of Crondall Vlllage Hall I report on the accounts of Ihe TTUSt for the year ended 3151 De￿mber 2021 which are set out in the attached document ftthrRef.
